Child
How will things be at the inlet, the old ceibal grove
The jasmine trees and orchids in bloom?
Where the thrush sang so sweetly?
I want to see myself reflected in your Kambá eyes again
And have you kiss me like I kissed you
Under the shade of the jacaranda tree
Child, lean on my memories, try to sleep in peace
I feel the weight on your conscience from Mom's crying
I saw that the fear of abandonment doesn't let you breathe
I feel the knot in your stomach when they talk to you about Dad
Child, make peace with life, the pasture isn't made of stone
The nostalgia of your before won't let you walk
Who killed your little smile of hope and kindness?
I know you want to go to sleep so you never have to wake up again
Love, don't cry, I see light in your sorrows
Following your heart, dancing to the song of the thrushes
Child, I am a man with sadness, I know the weight of your truth
Escaping because you stole, because you steal just to eat dinner
I saw your fingers in the mud with the scent of freedom
I know you want to go to sleep so you never have to wake up again
You go through the world as a rascal, with a soul of candy
I saw life on your knuckles and its hatred in your dimples (ah, ah, ah, ah)
You prayed to some friends, because not all of them go to heaven
But you are a Grail
Love, don't cry, I see light in your sorrows
Following your heart, dancing to the song of thrush–
Love, don't cry, I see light in your sorrows
Following your heart
Son, they stole your little eyes from me, the moments I lost
I asked my destiny for more time, and it said: Today is your turn
I know one day you'll be grown, I know one day you'll understand
Advice from your old man, I'm resting in peace
